Wow once again it's been like a year+ and I've neglected this DA page. Which is like, how can I do that? I'm getting old. I'm like 57 now. Can't just let years slip by on this DA with nothin'. Actually, this account is a good resource for the time periods of my art now, since I only update it about yearly. You can really see my progression!

so what's new: - i did a kickstarter for a new book project / t-shirts / printing endeavors and it went quite well! ! ! i've made the t-shirts, stickers, and other stuff-- and am working on putting together SUN BAKERY -- my first ever full-color self-published book project.

also: yeah, eventually i'll offer Sun Bakery online to people who missed the kickstarter but still want it

i also made Sharknife t-shirts, and stickers (3 new ones, an Aves Ives sticker, a Sharknife, and my Metal Gear Rising drawing)-- those will be online soon, too

-

SHARKNIFE 3!!! ! ! I've been working on it for a while now, it seems. It's all coming together. I recently did a Sharknife side-story, featuring Rufyo from Sharknife Double Z. I was inspired while reading A Song of Ice & Fire, to do "point of view" stories... So I might try to do more of those up until the release of the final Sharknife 3rd Volume

-

I also want to start a new, serialized online comic, soon. I did Seedless (reyyy.com/seedless/book1) before for a couple years... But this time, I'm hoping to put something together a bit more cohesive, self-contained, start-to-finish online endeavor. WE'LL SEEEEEE E E E. IF I DO IT, YOU'LL SEE, I GUARANTEE

-

besides that I just want to keep drawing and making cool stuff ... i have lots of cool stuff planned. for comics and beyond OH HHHOHOHO

Tonight we got the mic on cruiseWith more luck than horseshoesWhile we fuse together like BRUTICUS'Cause we move with ten ton thrustersThe cosmopolitan cosmonaut up in your knot again like aneurysmsExpand with wisdomMusical mannerisms are parallel to cannibalismAnd animal instinct that's in syncDistinct leavin' suckas extinct when we combineThe gravity hella fine, physics of mindInebriating, leave you gaping openNothing's safe in OaklandIt's potent and murder is the slogan butWe showin' you the erosion of the stereotypicalItchin' to pull the trigger on niggasThis is all originalAnd brand new, fidgetin' with tracks that are rigid andPigeonholin rappers while collectin' dividends at the doorYa' know And that's how it goes

Sharknife 1 & 2 have been out for a month or 2 now and the response has been amazing. I'm so stoked to be getting this pent-up Sharknife energy out there, finally!!! Thanks to everyone who has copped them from me at a con, or at comic shops, book stores, online, wherever!!

I always appreciate feedback, so if you've copped the books, feel free to give me some insight here on my DA!

Thanks everyone so much for the support and for sticking with me while it to me FOREVER to make the 2nd book srsly i luv u ;;;;;o;;;;;;

SHARKNIFE 3 is already WELL underway!

I'm currently redesigning my website; once it's back up there will be tons of information regarding Sharknife 3 production, and an online store to purchase my new minis, etc (including a new Sharknife mini!)

*** IF YOU'RE CURIOUS ABOUT THIS "SHARKNIFE" CRAZE, HAVE BEEN WAITING FOREVER FOR VOLUME 2, OR HAVE JUST SIMPLY BEEN WAITING FOR A POWERFUL BURST OF ENERGY WITHIN THE REALM OF COMIX --

NOW IS YOUR TIME TO ACT!!!!!!!

--

Q: WHAT IS NEXT NOW THAT SHARKNIFE 2 IS DONE????

A: SHARKNIFE 3!!!!!!!!!

That's right. I aint EVEN done. I have BARELY STARTED. + To ensure Sharknife 3 will NOT take as long as Double Z, I'm starting a SHARKNIFE DEVELOPMENT BLOG on the news stream on my website. CHECK IT OUT! reyyy.com/BLOG/2012/04/08/shar…

Q: WILL "PENG" RETURN?

A: PENG, my comic about teenage sportsmen who kick ass at kick ball will return! In fact, they already kinda have, in the pages of LAYERED JACKET 3, in their own short hackey sack story. BUT, they will also be returning for real in a new "PENG" collection in 2013.

Q: WHAT ABOUT "SEEDLESS"?

A: Seedless is currently on a hiatus, but the first volume is still available, and is a lot of fun: www.amazon.com/Seedless-OGN-Co… -- You can still read the comic online here, too: www.reyyy.com/seedless/book1 (though the printed edition still has lots of bonus materials and extra comics). Further adventures of my fruit warriors WILL happen someday. When you least expect it ;]

Q: ANYTHING ELSE?

A: Just keep a look out for new Sharknife developments (on the dev blog), and more releases of self-published comics (Layered Jacket, and a small Sharknife story soon)-- and more forays into the digital comics realm.

So yeah, Sharknife 1 & 2 both coming out March 28. Details to your left. Not much to say: They are awesome books and you should own them :]

Please keep an eye out for them, they should be popping up at comic stores, book shops and amazon.com.

I have also been having a KICKSTARTER for Layered Jacket #3 (and reprinting the first 2 issues). There's only a couple days left now, but if you'd like to pledge / pre-order Layered Jacket #3: www.kickstarter.com/projects/1…

1. SHARKNIFE DOUBLE Z *IS* *COMPLETED* -- It will be out early next year, in the year of our Lord, the Armageddon year of two-thousand twelve (2012). As was always meant to be. It will be your guide to apocalyptic survival. Fear not, for the original volume, SHARKNIFE VOL. 1 "STAGE FIRST" will ALSO be reprinted, for those of you searching for a legendary copy. You be able to attain BOTH DUO TOMES of the Sharknife Drama Saga, in but a clusterfuck of months.

2. NEW PROJECTS RAINING UPON THEE-- In my gallery section, you will see "LAYERED JACKET 3.1: THE GOOD & THE FOWL" and "BLOODSHED". Two new mini-comic projects. Those, and other choice nuggets of online entertainment, will be compiled onto an ONLINE COMIC SITE, which is forthcoming. Stay aware!

SHARKNIFE Volume TWO, the SECOND SHARKNIFE BOOK, Sharknife DOUBLE Z, with TWO Z's, is now COMPLETE.

TWO TIMES.

For real. For absolutely real. I'm not making shit up. There's no 5 pages left or anything. It is D-O-N-E. I've waited a very long time, until it's actual completion, to tell you all this good news. And this time, it's as real as apple pie.

It will be out early next year from Oni Press. It will be your 2012 survival guide. It's gonna be huge.

That's not all for SHARKNIFE. His adventures are only beginning. Double Z is a massive keystone that after much ritual, has finally been activated. What gushes forth from this, is beyond my control. I am MERELY A CONDUIT OF RADICAL SHARKNIFE ENERGY.

So, keep antennae fixated towards the release of Double Z, and all it's MOONS of excitement, of which there will be many.

I absolutely feel the completion of this book as a new chapter in my artistic / comics life. I'm very pumped. The energy rushes thru my veins. I'm determined to keep pushing, together with you all, until our energy PIERCES THE HEAVENS!!!

Just wanted people to know that Sharknife Volume 1 "Stage First" will ALSO be reprinted when Double Z comes out. So those who missed the first book (before it sold out) will get a chance to snag it along with the 2nd. PENG!, which also recently sold out, will be re-printed as well.
